Complete Vacuum Concentrators Process Multiple Samples

The all-in-one CentriVap Complete from Labconco houses every component needed to begin processing multiple samples: vacuum concentrator, cold trap and diaphragm vacuum pump. The concentrator uses a combination of centrifugal force, vacuum and optional heat to speed evaporation and is used in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics, cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, drug discovery and analytical chemistry.

The CentriVap Complete are includes the concentrator and a -50 C cold trap to help protect the vacuum pump from corrosive effects of vapors and fumes as they evaporate from the samples. Additional features include an aluminum rotor that holds up to 40 microcentrifuge tubes and 108 each 12 to 13 mm tubes, built-in, chemical-resistant diaphragm pump and the CentriZap Strobe Light. While directing the strobe light onto the spinning rotor, the rotor appears to be standing still, which allows the user to view the samples while the lid is closed. This feature saves time from having to stop the run, check the sample, and start the run again.

Acid-resistant models are available for corrosive chemical use and other models feature Heat Boost, which surrounds the chamber wall and further speeds evaporation of high boiling point solvents.
